William Shatner apparently did not sign this.

[jcon40]

Continuing to present themselves as people from outer space

[SkyDancer]

Beat me to it as I was reading the list.

[JBW1949]

Wow!!! That’ll really change my mind...NOT!!!!!

[t4texas]

Beam’em up!!!

[polymuser]

Well if Wil Wheaton is against Trump, it’s over. Trump is done! Done!

[butlerweave]

William Shatner apparently did not sign this.

Canadian

[Bob]

I don’t get it. Am I supposed to care? Somehow, I just don’t.

[DouglasKC]

That’s it. I was a huge trek fan. I’m done with childish things now.

[W.]

Way to phaser your bridge, morons...screw them.

[Da Coyote]

The new Trek sucks anyway.

Betcha they’ll have a transvestite on the bridge next time.

[polymuser]

No intelligent life forms on this scanner, Captain.

[Cicero]

Star Trek? What’s that?

[rightwingcrazy]

“Never has there been a presidential candidate who stands in such complete opposition to the ideals of the Star Trek universe as Donald Trump”

Yup, that’s how I decide my vote. Based on the ideals of the Star Trek universe.

[raybbr]

Seems Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) didn't sign...

[kiryandil]

Notice that the SMART one, Jeri Ryan, didn't sign it either...

[Eddie01]

That makes this a mutiny.

[fishtank]

Dear typical actor:

You're a putz.

[Wisconsinlady]

It proves how “out there” the left is.

[Leaning Right]

Oh, my. A group of B-level actors, and relatives of B-levels actors, think their opinions are so important. Well, of course they're important, very important!

Because when I want dental advice, I listen to truck drivers. And when I want political advice, I listen to actors. It's just the sensible thing to do!
